Matters
Where the work actually happens.
A matter is one client instruction. The file lives here and you write here. When the agent ships, it will work on the same document inside Obiter instead of in a separate chat you paste into.
Illustrative example. The cases and documents shown are fictional.
Capabilities
One place per instruction
Documents, drafts, and tools stay with the matter they belong to.
Working uploads
PDFs and DOCX arrive as documents you can act on, not static attachments.
Private by default
Matter files stay inside your organisation — never indexed or used for training.
Versions in place
Documents and their versions live with the instruction.
Each matter holds the client file and the editor you draft in. The agent, in development, will work on that same draft.
What a matter is
One matter is one client instruction: the documents, the draft, and the tools that act on it.
- Create a matter when the instruction starts
- Everything for that work stays with it
- Client material never crosses into the public corpus
Write in the matter
A working document editor inside the matter — not only a list of uploads.
- Open a draft inside the matter
- Keep documents and versions with the instruction
- Move between research and drafting without exporting
- Hand the same document to Redact or Verify
Agent-first, in-house
The agent will work on the document you have open, inside the same privacy boundary as the rest of the desk.
- Ask without pasting into a separate chatbot
- It can pull authority from Search
- Changes land in the draft for you to review
- You stay in control of what is accepted
What is live, and what is next

- The agent loop is next
- Each lands in the matter when it ships, not in a separate tool
- Matter files are never indexed or used for training
